Stand with your hands on a wall or a chair. Put one leg back behind the torso and tuck these toes under, in order to stretch the muscles in the toes and feet. Cramping is normal, so take a break when needed, and then return to the stretch. Work up to holding the tucked position for a minute, repeating on each foot two to three times daily.

The Move: Toe Exercises

You’ll Need: a space to move your tootsies

How To Do It:

Start with bare feet. Try to raise the big toe by itself — without letting the other toes lift. Once you can do both, try doing one at a time. Once you’ve mastered that, you can working on lifting each toe in order, and then for the greatest challenge, try lifting each toe individually.

The Move: Calf Stretch

You’ll Need: a dome, or towel

How To Do It:

Place dome or towel under your sink, and stretch your calves while you brush your teeth.
